CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCCTION
Machine Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface
The printer driver can monitor your machines status using bi-
directional parallel communications. A high quality bi-directional
parallel printer cable is recommended.
The machine status monitor program can show the current status of
your machine. When printing, the animated dialog box appears on
your computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error
occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For
example: when your machine is out of paper, the dialog box will
display "No Paper" and instructions for the proper corrective action.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine provides its own data compression technology in the
machine hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can
automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the
machine's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full
page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the
machine's standard memory.
Environment-Friendly
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to
obtain draft copies for proof-reading. You can select from two
economy modes—25% toner saving and 50% toner saving—through
the Windows printer driver supplied with your machine.
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)
When the machine is not used for a certain amount of time, sleep
mode automatically reduces power consumption. The machine
consumes less than 13 W when in sleep mode.
Low Running Cost
Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to
replace only the toner cartridge after approximately 2,400 pages,
which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. (Some models are
supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced
after 1,000 pages.)
The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may
vary depending on your average type of print job.
